like a lot of people in pennsylvania and maryland, she went down the winding road and settled in western north carolina. william prospered as a slave owning farmer and a justice of the peace. like a lot of people who migrated southward into the area around charlotte today, a lot of them were upwardly mobile by virtue of that migration. we don't know what either jane or william looked like, hence the cheesy silhouette clipart. there are no spurgin family papers. in fact, jane spurgin would be completely unknown to us except for three petitions that she submitted to north carolina's legislator in the 1780's and 1790's. those petitions tell us something about the political identities and personal experiences of relatively ordinary women and revolutionary america. 1776 happens and everyone is independent. william spurgin decided he could not support the american rebellion. not only that, he was not going to be quiet or circumspect about it. he actually went off and joined the king's army. he was a loyalist and he was a committed loyalist. he left jane and their many children behind while he

we were in western kansas and west belt pennsylvania. their own communities they thought were getting better. but as soon as national politics came up, if you asked that, it was this switch. well, we hate hillary. we need to switch it up but the disconnect about national politics and how people think about their comphiemunities is ims privilege. >> joe. >> that's one thing that mika and i we haven't done something like this but we've given speeches through the years. in various communities. and we say no you know what, whether we're speaking in alabama or the 92nd street y, the people that come up and talk to us they want the same for their kids. they want the same for their communities. we're not as separated as we used to be. we're more homogenized. and there's this association that doesn't seem to exist on the ground? >> we couldn'tal agree more fully, even including democles, alabama. all of this experiment that you see, city by city, around the country. that this can somehow seep upward to improve our national live, rather than reve

pennsylvania, new jersey, wisconsin, california, new jersey and michigan. states like nebraska and connecticut and new england. in fact we are running well in all of the states. even in the western states but i think that we are going to win the southern and border states and we are going to win several of the states in the midwest and a good chance to win california. we also have an excellent chance in new york, whether some people believe it or not. we received more mail from the state of new york than any state in the union. >> are there any conditions now under which you would withdraw from the race before november. >> there are no conditions under which i would withdraw from the race for the presidency, i said last year when i was trying to get on the ballot in california, that this ought to be a lesson to one of the two national parties, they ought to give the american people a choice, not only have they not given the american people a choice but party leadership joined together in the passage of the so called fair housing law, an attack on private property of the everyone looking for the democratic and republican party demonstration joined together to pass this antiproper

pennsylvania, you saw surge of candidates, for one, a lot were women. unprecedented amount of women for state legislature seats here, something we haven't seen. westernt of the state, hasn't linked closely to gender, you have bibiana, who is local usinesswoman, former ford executive who party officials believe could have a shot at after rick saccone, and -- all across the state seeing the legislator in western pa, almost every seat. interesting definitely time. set up mechanics, how long will polls be opened, what is turnout? what has media been like in the primary race? been as rtainly hasn't haotic as lamb and saccone race. turnout has been low. they were expecting two out of voters to tered participate in this election, not sure if we will hit that so far turn out has been less than they would have imagined. media attention is also light. i went to see lamb vote today in his district in mount lebanon and compared to the 35 people were there from me and a few cameramen here. everything is interesting and we'll see a lot. polls close 8 p.m., couple close rupts, especially race, probablyal keep us up later. that is the day for you. ralph of the post

favorite running against the state representative, jim christiana, a lot of people here in western pennsylvania are already talking about the potential of a matchup which they are also telling me it would be the classic referendum on donald trump. you have a staunch critic in bob casey versus one of the earliest and most ardent supporters so not a lot of interest here on the ground in the primary. if jim pulls it off i know a lot of people who will be surprised but lou appears to be the favorite here. >> host: if lou goes on what faces are the other challenges and how will he prepared with money and also info structure? >> guest: he will face mr. casey and you will have a lot of interest from local party officials and he will have a lot of money in his coffers and he will have the familiar name of donald trump and donald trump recorded aroma: missed the primary heading up to it and he endorsed lou in the primary earlier in the year and they are close to each other and i think you'll see appearances from the president here on the ground in pennsylvania once the general is on. >> host: you have a
